Rachid Taha - Sing For Me Little by Little / رشيد طه - غنيلي شوي شوي

Rachid Taha - Sing For Me Little by Little

Sing for me little by little

Sing for me and take my eyes

Make me sing a tune

That the audience sways for

And the brances flutter for

The narcissus with the jasmine

And the passengers travel with it enveloping the ships

Little by little, little by little          

The singer is the life of the soul

The sick man hears him and gets better

And he treats the wounded liver (livers are more important in Arabic than in English)

The doctors are perplexed by it

And he clears the away the darkness of night

Letting light into the eyes of the lovers

Little by little, little by little

I promise you by God ('lord of the house' ie the Kaaba)

Oh you who believes in God

I'll enchant you all if I sing

And make the girls of the village dance

Little by little, little by little

رشيد طه - غنيلي شوي شوي

غنّيلي شوية شوية ....غنّيلي وخود عينيّ

خليني أقول ألحان ...تتمايل لها السامعين

وترفرف لها الأغصان ....النرجس مع الياسمين

وتسافر معها الركبان ...طاويين المراكب طيّ

شوي شوي ...شوي شوي

المغنى حياة الروح ....يسمعها العليل تشفيه

وتداوي كبد مجروح ....تحتار الأطبّة فيه

وتخللي طلام اللّيل ....بعيون الحبايب ضيّ

شوي شوي ...شوي شوي

لأغنّي وقول للطير ...من بدري صباح الخير

والقمر مع الخضّير ...ويّاي يردّو عليّ

شوي شوي ....شوي شوي

أحلفلك ..بربّ البيت ......يا مصدّق بربّ البيت

لاسحركم إذا غنّيت .....وارقّص بنات الحيّ

شوي شوي ....شوي شوي
